Pathophysiology of Cholestatic Liver Diseases: New Insights into the Mechanisms of Bile Infarct Formation
Cholestatic liver diseases can be induced for many reasons including obstructions, e.g. by stones or tumors. An early consequence of obstructive cholestasis is the formation of bile infarcts, which refer to clusters of dead hepatocytes due to bile salt accumulation. Although these infarcts were desc...
